Bit of a mixture of everything southern, but worth the listen as this chicks voice is powerful and the band is tight.

I love soul music Sam Cooke, Aretha, Smokey, Freddie Jackson, Luther, Keith Washington, R Kelly, Joe, Stevie Wonder, Jodeci, Sade, Anita Baker, Guy,... music died in the year 2000 on wards for me.

GreenBeans, Soul music to me doesn't have to come from a particular genre.. Any slow song ( sometimes it could be fast ) that you feel deeply can be regarded as soul music..

Night Moves by Sam Morrison Band on Spotify

Best version of teh song ever! I just feel this song! Seing this lady, and we just getting it on and off!

We weren't in love oh no far from it
We weren't searching for some pie in the sky summit
We were just young and restless and bored
Living by the sword
And we'd steal away every chance we could
To the backroom, the alley, the trusty woods
I used her she used me
But neither one cared
We were getting our share

Workin' on our night moves
Trying to lose the awkward teenage blues
Workin' on out night moves
In the summertime
And oh the wonder
Felt the lightning
And we waited on the thunder
Waited on the thunder

[Master]

I love George Benson, forgot about that smoothie.

If you are choosing white singers for soul then watch the film commitments.

I know soul music is supposed to be gravelly voiced black dudes singing about women and various things. I have no aversion to a decent song from Gaye, or Franklin, but for me all music spoken from within is soul music. Lou Reed, Neil Young, Scott Walker they are every bit as soulful as anyone else. They speak to the soul meaning the fundamentals of human existence. Soul means to be alive, the essence of the human condition. I think the whole black people argument about soul is in itself somewhat racist against many white people who are soulful. We are all soulful people. Soul is life.

I heard a track from a guy called Paulo Nutini and apparently he is all about soul despite his whiteness, but really all I got were a bunch of inane lyrics from a man who thought gravelling it up and using a few core buzzwords was soul. I didn't think it was soul music and thought it was very contrived. Media seems to like it and is getting good reviews, but this man doesn't speak to me, so I am not feeling his soul.

I think some of the 'soul' artists have little soul and other artists who are rock and pop, sometimes display a lot more. Finito might have a point, though I don't like many of the tracks he is playing.

What kind of song hits the spot for you, Miles? Post something..

I was drunk off this piece all last night, thinking of an old friend.
